(Yeah, yeah) 
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) 

I was just a young boy, 
Raised out in Carson, 
Ambla Elementary, 
Principal Dr. Larson, 
Me and my godbrotha, 
Tyrin Davis, 
Walkin down the hallways, 
He got all the ladies. 
I was just a nappy head 
Livin on the 9 block, 
'ready went to Bedcross, 
I was at the chronic spot. 
Did a lil' rooster 
And my homey shantwain- 
And the homey Big B 
Put me on the game. 
The big homey solo 
Told me not to bang. 
He told me don't put 
My career to a shame. 
But I did, anyway, 
And I got in trouble but 
I had the hookup on the hundred dolla double ups, 
My nigga E-dog... he had the flow, 
And when I snuck out my window, 
I used to go smoke up his endo. 
Oh 

Cen...ter...view 
(I grew up in the little town called) 
Cen... (oh yea) ter... view (oh, yes I did) 
(I did a little bit of dirt in) 
Cen...ter...(oh, yes I did) view 
(aww yes I did) 

My dad was always at Church 
Working in his office, 
And my cousin Ryan got a 
Scholarship to college. 
Everything start happening 
All so quick- fast 
I got on a TV show 
And started to make cash, 
My sister's on the radio 
Banging through the stereo, 
I remember when we used to go 
Skate at Skate Depot, 
Damn those were the days, 
Things just ain't the same, 
And to my little homey D-O, 
You gotta be careful in this game. 

Cen...ter (oh yes you do)...view 
(Listen, I was raised in a little town called) 
Cen... (oh) ter... (yea) view (you see) 
(I did a little dirt in) 
Cen (in) ...ter...(in, in) view 
(in Centerview, ay ay ay...) 

Guess who I do it back 
So all I do is that 
So how I'm giving back, 
Put my city on the map 
That's why I do it back 
First time I held this track 
So how I'm giving back, 
Put my city on the map 

In Cen...ter...view 

Oh, I used to take the circuit bus 
To the Carson mall, 
To go buy cans of spray paint to 
Hit up on the walls, 
I was young and dumb, 
I was livin' crazy, 
But thank God for my family, cuz 
Man they really saved me, yeah, 
(Oh-oh, oh-oh oh-oh, oh-oh) 
To everybody in my city 
That remembers good times, oh oh, 
(Oh-oh, oh-oh oh-oh, oh-oh) 
I took a ride back to Carson 
Just to hug a few friends, oh oh, 
(Oh-oh, oh-oh oh-oh, oh-oh) 
You see, I know I can get you chillin 
On the block around ten, Oh oh, 
(Oh-oh, oh-oh oh-oh, oh-oh) 
Ay, And all the soldiers that didn't go 
Who are locked up in the pen 
Woah... 
In Centerview, Yeah, 
Woah... woah... 
Well homey, this one's for you.

Guess who I do it back 
So all I do is that 
So how I'm giving back, 
Put my city on the map 
That's why I do it back 
First time I held this track 
So how I'm giving back, 
Put my city on the map 

East side up, 
West Coast, 
I'm out.
